Bond... James Bond 2014 & 2015 Archives 4 Case Break

[DrGhostbuster]

I have always wanted to bust some James Bond cases. I was looking at the Upper Deck Bond set, but for the cost of one of those cases, I could almost buy 2 Rittenhouse cases. And with Rittenhouse, you have a chance to pull multiple actual James Bond actor autographs depending on the set and you are guaranteed 24 autos per case. So I purchased two 2014 Archives and two 2015 Archives cases.

I went against my OCD nature and opened the 2015 cases before the 2014 cases thinking the 2014 cases had the potential to be better due to the relic cards and the chance at 3 Bond autos including Moore, Brosnan, and Craig. I was very happy with the 2015 cases as I got 2 out of 3 autos I wanted for my personal collection and with the 2014 cases I got 0 out of the 3 autos I wanted for my personal collection.

Both 2014 Cases Contained:
007 Regular Autos
013 Limited Autos
003 Very Limited Autos
001 Extremely Limited Autos

Both 2015 Cases Contained:
006 Regular Autos
014 Limited Autos
003 Very Limited Autos
001 Extremely Limited Autos

2014 vs. 2015

In my opinion, in regards to autos as a whole, 2015 is superior as a handful of the 2014 "Extremely Limited" autos were available in 2015 as only "Very Limited" like Halle Berry, Teri Hatcher & Sheena Easton. Case in point, one of my single 2015 cases got me Roger Moore, Teri Hatcher, and Sheena Easton. For one of my 2014 cases, Teri Hatcher was my EL case hit with no chance of getting those other signers even though they were also in the set. Outside of autographs, 2014 has awesome relics and 2015 has none.
